And now something for the Star Wars fans:
Early Morning Open Thread
Haven’t been feeling very great today. The weather hasn’t been helping either, been stuck in this hibernation cycle. So I just kicked back and did something easy. I built a scene for an upcoming vid in SFM, and refined a small script I’ve been working on since yesterday (which combines about 3 dreams that I had recently). Now all I need is the voices so I can animate it!
On another note I’ve been looking at gaming laptops again, although it isn’t a must at this point since my current one still kicks ass. However, it’s nice to have an idea of what you’re going to buy when you finally make your decision.
Help an awesome girl with an awesomely groovy project.
A good friend of mine from the Slackers forums has a cool daughter attempting to make a super special awesome kickstarter project called “The Beaded Body”
I’m super excited to get going on this sculpture. I’ll use off-loom beadweaving techniques with a needle and thread to weave a complete covering in beads from around the world onto a life-size female form. I see this project as the first in a series of beaded human figures.
Here’s a pic of the miniature model I’m working on to demonstrate the process. The finished model will be a reward!
Depending on how much you donate they also have some cool prizes! Check out the kickstarter for details!
Queen of dumb blondes robs bank then youtubes about it.
Remember awhile back when I blogged about the Wal Mart employees filming their quality handling of iPads? Well, just when I start to lose faith in humanity another story and video comes along, and I lose even more faith in humanity. 🙄
Some dumbassed blond chick not only robbed a bank and stole a car, but decided to vlog about it!
The suspect pointed what appeared to be a gun and handed tellers a note that said “You are being robbed! NO ALARMS OR LOCKS OR PHONES or INK BAGS! I have a loaded gun. You have 2 minutes,” deputies told NTV.
It was unclear how Sabata intends to plead. The name of her attorney was not immediately known.
When looking up the definition of dumb blond, you need not look further than for the one named Hannah Sabata.
You’ve gotta be kidding me.
Sometimes I think Cyan is about as organized as the Hindenburg.
An emergency situation has arisen quite rapidly over the last 24 hours. In short, one file in the CWE sources is in violation of licensed code by RAD Game Tools: Plasma20/Sources/Plasma/FeatureLib/pfSurface/plLayerBink.cpp You absolutely have to delete this file from any cloned repository you might have – completely. This means that you must perform a complete rebase removing this file from the initial source release, so that it never appears ever again. As a first measure, make a commit removing that file from your fork. It contains code belonging to RAD Game Tools, and was accidentally released by Cyan as they were unaware of its origin at the time..

This affects all known forks and branches, including H’uru.
Failure to so could result in prosecution of Cyan Worlds by RAD Game Tools for releasing copyrighted code, which would be A Bad Thing(TM).
If you need help removing this file, please contact one of the developers (including me) for instructions on how to proceed. Speed is essential in removing this file.
Note: your client will probably no longer compile if you remove this file. A fix will be distributed once it has been found.
Note 2: end-users need take no action. Cool
Insert large facepalm here
Well it’s official folks! Steam’s Big Picture is out of beta!
Yep, if you’re running steam’s latest update then congrats! Big picture is now an option! Now if you have a ginormous TV you can play your games through that interface. Like a console but with better quality. 😛
Sunday Morning Open Thread + a petition
Yesterday I woke up, saw it was still raining and storming outside in pitch black, then I looked over at my clothes and decided “Fuck it, I’m staying in PJ’s.” So I didn’t go anywhere or do anything in particular. I just completely slacked off waiting for the storm to pass.
On another note, did you guys hear that Rockstar cockstar is making the next GTA for consoles only? Not surprising to me seeing as everyone wants to jump onto the console bandwagon… In any case if you’re interested there is a petition you can sign. Not sure if it will do any good but you at least have to try. Kinda like when Americans made a petition for Grover Norquist to get punched in the dick. Granted that got pulled but you have to at least try. 😛
